최근 화석에너지 고갈 및 환경 문제 해결을 위하여 신재생에너지와 탄소중립에 관한 관심이 집중되고 있다. 또한, 도시 건물의 고층화와 건물의 증가에 따른 건물에너지의 증가가 급속하게 되고 있다. 도시의 중심에 신재셍에너지원인 태양광 발전을 설치하는데 있어서 많은 제약사항이 있으며, 건물의 고층화가 됨에 따라 그늘이 형성되는 저조도 환경이 많이 발생하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실외의 저조도 환경 및 실내의 조명 환경에서 전력발생이 가능한 발전소자를 개발하고자 한다. 저조도 환경에서의 발전소자는 태양전지의 종류중에 하나인 염료감응형 태양전지를 활용하고자 한다. 염료감응형 태양전지의 단위셀과 20cm×20cm 모듈을 제작하였고, LED, 할로겐램프, 3파장 램프의 광원을 활용하여 발전소자의 전기적 특성을 측정하였다. 단위셀의 광전변환효율은 LED, 할로겐 램프, 3파장 램프별로 17.2%, 1.28%, 19,2%로의 결과를 나타냈으며 20cm×20cm 모듈의 광전변환효율은 각각 10.9%, 8.7%, 11.8%의 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 모듈의 최대전력값은 광원별로 각각 13.1mW, 15.7 mW, 14.2 mW로서 저조도 환경에서 발전 가능성을 확인하였다.

Dye sensitized solar cells (DSC) are promising devices for inexpensive, nontoxic, transparent, and large-scale solar energy conversion. Generally thick $TiO_2$ nanoporous films act as efficient photoanodes with their large surface area for absorbing light. However, electron transport through nanoparticle networks causes the slowdown and the loss of electron transport because of a number of interparticle boundaries inside the conduction path. We have studied DSCs with precisely dimension-controlled $TiO_2$ nanotubes array as photoanode. $TiO_2$ nanotubes array is prepared by template-directed fabrication method with atomic layer deposition. Well-ordered nanotubes array provides not only large surface area for light absorbing but also direct pathway for electrons with minimalized grain boundaries. Large enlongated anatase grains in the nanotubes could enhance the conductivity of electrons, but also suppress the recombination with holes through defect sites during diffusion into the electrode. To study the effect of grain boundaries, we fabricated two kinds of nanotubes which have different grain sizes by controlling deposition conditions. And we studied electron conduction through two kinds of nanotubes with different grain structures. The solar cell performance was studied as a function of thickness and grain structures. And overall solar-to-electric energy conversion efficiencies of up to 7% were obtained.

This paper deals with the effectiveness of a fiber optic solar lighting system that uses a Fresnel lens mounted on a two-axis solar tracker. A series of comparative analyses were made concerning its performance as compared to fluorescent lighting by using a simulation model based on ECOTECT and RADIANCE as well as referring to actual data. ECOTECT was used to model the test room (space) while RADIANCE was used for its indoor lighting conditions (environment). It was found that the average indoor light levels of fluorescent lighting fully satisfy the KS standard (KS A 3011, general office, class [G]: 300-400-600 lux) whereas those of the solar lighting with light diffusers depends on the occlusion factor of roller shades installed on the south window.

The front transparent conductive oxide (TCO) films in thin fill solar cell should exhibit high transparency, conductivity, good surface morphology and excellent light scattering properties. The light trapping phenomenon is limited due to random surface structure of TCO films. The proper control of surface structure and uniform cauliflower TCO films may be appropriate for efficient light trapping. We report light trapping scheme of ICP-RIE glass texturing by SF6/Ar plasma for high roughness and haze ratio of ITO films. It was observed that the variation of etching time, pattern size and Ar flow ratio during ICP-RIE process were important factors to improve the diffused transmittance and haze ratio of textured glass. The ICP-RIE textured glass showed low etching rates due to the presence of metal elements like Al, B, F and Na. The ITO films deposited on textured glass substrates showed the high RMS roughness and haze ratio in the visible wavelength region. The change in surface morphology showed negligible influence on electrical and structural properties of ITO films. The ITO films with high roughness and haze ratio can be used to improve the performance of thin film solar cells.

A transparent conducting oxide (TCO) layer was applied in crystalline Si (c-Si) solar cells without use of the conventional SiNx-coating. A high quality indium-tin-oxide (ITO) layer was directly deposited on an emitter layer of a Si wafer. Three different types of emitters were formed by controlling the phosphorous diffusion condition. A light-doped emitter forming a thinner emitter junction showed an improved photoconversion efficiency of 14.1% comparing to 13.2% of a heavy-doped emitter. This was induced by lower recombination within a narrower depletion region of the light-doped emitter. In the aspect of light management, the intermediate refractive index of ITO is effective to reduce the light reflection leading the enhanced carrier generation in a Si absorber. For the electrical aspect, the ITO layer serves as an efficient electrical conductor and thus relieves the burden of high contact resistance of the light-doped emitter. Additionally, the ITO works as a buffer layer of Ag and Si and certainly prevents the shunting problem of Ag penetration into Si emitter region. It discusses an efficient design scheme of TCO-embedded emitter Si solar cells.

최근 태양광발전 시스템에서 태양광을 집광하는 광학기술이 접목된 집광기가 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 광도파로 원리를 기반으로 한, 간단하면서 생산이 용이한 새로운 개념의 평면형 집광기를 제안하였다. 해당 집광기에서는 태양광 집광을 위하여 빛의 전반사와 굴절의 법칙에 의해 빛을 유도하는 마이크로 단위의 광학 패턴이 적용되었다. 본 집광기의 주요 설계변수로는 광도파 집광기의 기하집 광비 $R_c$와 마이크로 패턴의 두 각도 ${\Theta}_1$, ${\Theta}_2$를 선정하였다. 광학해석을 위한 시뮬레이션은 SPEOS로 수행되었으며 주요 설계변수의 변화에 따른 집광기의 광학효율을 예측하였다. 기하집광비 4, 5, 6에 대해서 광학효율 최대치가 각각 65.60%, 54.78%, 46.78%로 예측되었다. 집광기의 마이크로 패턴의 두 각도 ${\Theta}_1$, ${\Theta}_2$ 및 태양광 입사각에 따른 광학효율도 예측하였다.

페로브스카이트 태양전지는 4차 산업혁명으로 사물인터넷, 가상환경 등의 증가에 따른 전력 수요가 급증하면서 점진적으로 고갈되어가는 석유, 석탄, 천연가스 등의 화석연료를 대체할 태양에너지, 풍력, 수력, 해양에너지, 바이오에너지, 수소에너지 등의 신재생 에너지 분야에서 연구가 활발한 부분이다. 페로브스카이트 태양전지는 페로브스카이트 구조를 가진 유-무기 하이브리드 물질을 사용하는 태양전지 소자로 고효율, 저가의 용액 및 저온 공정으로 기존의 실리콘 태양전지를 대체할 수 있는 장점들이 있다. 기존의 경험적 방법으로 예측한 광흡수층 박막을 최적화하기 위해서 소자 특성 평가를 통해 신뢰도를 검증해야 한다. 그러나 광흡수층 박막 소자 특성 평가 비용이 많이 소요되므로 시험 횟수에 제약이 따른다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 광흡수층 박막 최적화의 보조 수단으로 머신러닝이나 인공지능 모델을 이용하여 명확하고 타당한 모델의 개발과 적용 가능성이 무한하다고 본다. 이 연구에서는 페로브스카이트 태양전지의 광 흡수층 박막 최적화를 추정하기 위하여 서포트 벡터 머신의 선형 커널, 가우시안 커널, 비선형 다항식 커널, 시그모이드 커널의 회귀분석 모델을 비교하여 커널 함수별 정확도 차이를 검증하였다.

Use of daylight in underground space interacts with physiological need for human beings and provides relief from feeling secluded. Light pipe system can deliver natural light into the space where it is needed and can be used as primary or a secondary light source with benefits of energy, productivity and health. To use light pipe system effectively under various conditions, it is important to investigate the effectiveness of light pipe system with reliable monitoring protocol. This paper presents the results of light pipe system performance used in underground parking lot under different sky conditions. Comparisons were made between the illuminance standards of underground parking lot and the monitored data. The results indicated that adequate illuminance level was shown until 4.5m distance from the light pipe under clear sky condition. However, additional lighting device showed be used under overcast sky to meet the proper illuminance level.
